Nothing Holy 04:26
It’s so hot tonight but there’s no cooling down. It’s so hot tonight and I want you around. Covers clinging to me from the sweat on the backs of my knees, I hold on to you - you give me what I need. Something’s coming - nothing holy, but you know it’s true. Don’t fight tonight - it’s gonna happen anyway. You don’t have the right to turn my needs away. I’ve got what you asked for - let’s commit to this trade. It’s so right tonight - you give me what I need. Something’s coming - nothing holy, but you know it’s true. She’s full of beauty but she’s no lady and she won’t lie to you… Something’s coming - nothing holy, but you know it’s true.

Ripple 05:20
All you ever were was something to her… All you’ll ever be to me is a footnote in my history. All you are is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow Like waters to the rivers run, you will wash away when the water’s done. All they’ll ever know is that you were supposedly hurt… All the facts are here to stay - I don’t care if you twist and turn. All you are is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow Like waters to the rivers run, you will wash away when the water’s done. In the water… All you are is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow . Like waters to the rivers run, you will watch and we will grow All you is falling sands, through my fingers you will flow Like waters to the rivers run, you will wash away when the water’s done. When the water’s done…

about

"After the Empty Men single, LS released the Nothing Holy single - backed with the live mainstay Ripple (which was debuted when we opened for The Damned at Whitby Goth Weekend). There's also some fantastic footage on YouTube of us playing the song at the Barbican, York when we opened for Gary Numan...

"Although these songs were written/developed with Chris and Neal in the band, these recordings were performed with a new line-up, one brought together after Neal left the band to focus on his PhD and Chris moving on to focus on his own project Berlin Black (which he'd kindly set aside for a bit to help me with LS).

"I'm not sure if these tracks were intended as a stand alone release or as a teaser for the next album (which would be Darkness Falls Upon The Light) - but again, they remained stand alone, this time due to some internal difficulties. After releasing this single, we recorded the Face EP which I personally feel just wasn't 'right' and the engineer/producer felt my demoes were better! But we needed product out there at the time... It was around this period that I decided to release some solo works and play some shows under my own name just to get things 'sort of LS' out there, keeping fans excited/interested and also to ease my building mental health issues due to the lack of any progression...

"I've also included with this version of the release, a 'redux' version of Ripple which I did in 2016 - a version that I feel reflects how the song was (and still is) played live and possibly closer to how it was originally presented by me, Chris and Neal..." (Simon York, Jan 2024)
